Seek information on the children of Ark E Pryor and wife Ella May (Mattie) Murphy Pryor of Hartsham, Monroe County and later Liberty Township Washington County Ohio. Ark E Pryor was born April 26 1877 in Hartsham, Monroe County to Joseph Pryor (b. 1842, son of Smiley & Mary Pryor [Prior]) and Louisa Givens (born 1845, dau of Andrew & Ann Givens). Ark married Jan. 28, 1901 in Greenbriar, Monroe County to Ella May Murphy (b. July 17 1881) daughter of William M (or H.) Murphy (b. March 17 1858 [to 1951] Benton Twp. Monroe OH to Thomas Murphy and Attilda Hill Murphy) and Elizabeth M. Williamson (b. Dec. 1860 to Westley and Nancy Williamson). Ark and Mattie are the parents of possibly as many as fifteen children. On a Petition to lease real estate filed in Washington Co. OH Dec. 13 1938 it listed Francis Williams Guardian of A. E. Pryor and incompetent person (listed as Plaintiff) vs. Defendants: Anna Pryor Williams, Flossie Pryor Shankland, Mary Pryor, Walter Pryor, Joseph Pryor, Harold Pryor, Opal Segar, Josephine L Archer, Von Pryor, Bernice Pryor, Fay G Patterson, Alberta Pryor, age 11 yrs, Bessie Pryor, age 7 yrs, Dessie Pryor, age 7 yrs, Ark Pryor Jr., age 5 yrs, and Mattie M Pryor. These are all believed to be (except for Mattie M Pryor who is the wife) children of Ark and Mattie Pryor. Does anyone out there know what ever happened to these children, are any of them still alive? The only information I have been able to come up with from the above mentioned petition is that Anna B. Pryor married the Francis C. Williams listed above; Flossie M Pryor married Jack Shankland; Fay G Pryor married a Mr. Patterson; Josephine L Pryor married Earl Forest Archer; Opal F. Pryor married a Mr. Seegar or Sager. Can anyone help me track down these cousins of mine who I would love to meet! Thanks for any help you can give.
